Rating the Broncos: More blitzes, same result in loss to Bears

The Broncos have failed to post a sack in a game only eight times since the start of 2011 … including the last two weeks.

Despite coach Vic Fangio ratcheting up the pressure Sunday against Chicago, the Broncos were limited to two hits on Mitch Trubisky.

The Broncos rushed five or more players on 11 of his 30 drop-backs (36.7%).

Sure, Trubisky threw quickly, but he also had eight attempts when he held the football for at least three seconds.

On the Bears’ winning drive, Fangio blitzed inside linebacker Josey Jewell on three consecutive drop-backs (all incompletions).
